What are your thoughts on Sims 5 being online? What are you worried about or excited for? Considering the previous online Sims games have failed (and that Sims 4 was originally supposed to be online), do you think the same will happen to Sims 5?
Do you think this is a good idea?

Hi! There's a gear icon on the right side of the title. Click on that to change the title of your thread and edit the content of your original post.
Anything more than that, though, and I'm going to be taking a hard pass on TS5.
But I certainly do not need micro-transactions or be connected to other simmers during gameplay. Let me be on my own cloud, not a collective one.
Agreed. The thought of a Sims game being online when I was like, between 10-15 I would probably have thought it was going to be the greatest thing ever, but as a late 20 something definitely not. I like MMOs just not in a Sims game.
No speeding up time
Gameplay will have network lag
No mods
Extended loading times
Restricted relationships
No way to load an old saved game
And other problems.
And hey EA, if you are reading this, it also sounds very expensive. Because you would have to host all these worlds yourselves. We can't host them because the worlds would go down when we (the host) goes offline.
Once again, it's my sandbox, my world, and you're not invited.
(universal "you", not directing that at anyone specifically 😊)
I just hope they don't make this online feature with only young adults.
Doubt I will use the online feature and rather play it offline.
Or if you could visit other peoples worlds only by invite, kinda like Animal Crossing and the host can set rules for visitors.
But I wouldn't want an online only game, where everyone shares the same space/world all the time, I too feel that goes against the sandbox idea and creating your own worlds and stories and so on, cause people could mess it up for one another.
If they ever made such a game, I think it should be a standalone game in addition to Sims5 not instead of, like TES online is for the TES series, same Universe and all but seperate from the original series/games.
Considering the previous online Sims games have failed (and that Sims 4 was originally supposed to be online), do you think the same will happen to Sims 5
I really don't have much faith in any future online sims game. If you only look at Twitch streamers and they hardly do any playing because most of the time they just chat.
It doesn’t have to be like multiplayer more like maybe 2-player or maximum 5.
But it would probably require more servers or even servers hosted by players themselves (like minecraft or rust)
I play to destress from RL, I don't want RL intruding on my time, I don't want to be social when I'm creating something or telling my story.
There's already Second Life and IMVU for people who need to be in a virtual world with other players.
How would families work? Who would be controlling children and toddlers? How would aging work?
No! No! and NO!
(I'd have edited this onto my original post, but I'm still too "new" apparently and the forum won't let me do that.)
I hope Sims 5 is kept as an offline game.

If it includes microtransactions - no
if you play together with people - no
If by online you mean more features like the gallery, maybe use the mailbox to send gifts to approved friends, etc. then yeah that's fine.
If they want to include an online mode, I'm up for it.
